Nissan’s Green Goals
Nissan is heading down a greener path than ever before, gearing up to make some serious changes to its operation while making its cars safer and more environmentally-friendly.
A media briefing recently revealed new plans for Nissan, who took a rare opportunity to showcase its green technologies and speak a little bit about the future of the company. Nissan has been traditionally secretive about its central operations, so the opportunity to learn more about the automaker’s direction was an exciting one for those in attendance.
The company revealed long-term goals to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 70% by the year 2050. The efficiency of the internal combustion engines will be examined in order to help Nissan meet the goal. The company also stated that the development of electric vehicles was being looked at and the emissions goal will likely only be met with more development in that area.
Nissan took the opportunity to reveal a test model of the electic car, showcasing the speed and endurance of their technology to the throng of media. The top speed of the test model was revealed to be 160 kilometres an hour with a range of 160 kilometres. Charging can be done overnight via 110-volt household current.
The automaker also discussed other Nissan cars, such as a reworked hybrid powertrain that should be set for a release soon. With the future looking green for Nissan, the company may well be able to challenge Toyota for the top spot amongst earth-friendly automakers.
